“Form 990, Part III, Line 4A, First Accomplishment, Continued - CARPs goal is to become self-funded, and has established a mission account to fund ongoing operations. As funds in the mission account are spent, our leadership intends to replenish such funds, consistent with our investment policy - to honor past donors while securing CARPs future as a self-sustaining enterprise. The mission of the organization is to offer hope to the underserved alcoholic and drug addicted. We cooperate with the Triangle Club, which is maintained by and for the benefit of individuals in 12-step related programs. The Club provides a meeting place and a place to socialize for individuals recovering from addiction. In addition, CARP has a partnership with Restoration Bridge International (RBI), in which each of CARPs clients work for 4 hours per week, and RBI provides food to CARP, which reduces operating expenses. Finally, CARP has a cooperative agreement with New Horizons Service Dogs, where clients visit twice monthly to help groom and clean dogs, and New Horizons staff members visit CARP twice monthly with service dogs to provide residents with pet therapy. This fiscal year, CARP has partnered with Life Resources Community Outreach (LRCO). LRCO provides free medical services to CARP clients such as COVID testing and drug, HIV test, and healthcare.”
